Typographers were, I think, fairly heavily unionized. I just did a quick google search for typographer union, and it seems that the Typographer's Union eventually merged into the Communications Workers of America: http://www.cwa-union.org/ You might try writing them to see if they maintain records going back into the 1930s and 40s. -- Joe Makowiec can be reached at: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Joe Makowiec <makowiec@nycap.rEMOVECAPSr.com>
